Portugal have already lifted three major trophies together under Ronaldo's leadership: the European Championship in 2016 and UEFA Nations League titles in 2019 and 2025. Nani believes the current group blends young talent with experienced winners and simply needs to stay united to compete for glory.
The presence of Ronaldo on the pitch will have an impact. He will lead the other players to give a little bit more for him, for the team and for the National Team, because there is a beautiful history behind all this and we are all part of that history.
Nani also highlighted Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes as a player Portugal can always count on, citing his mentality and desire to win. Nani himself recently returned to football with FC Aktobe.
Drawn into Group K, Portugal open their World Cup campaign tomorrow evening against DR Congo in Houston. Martinez's side face Uzbekistan next Tuesday before closing group play against Colombia on June 28.
